F40 LM for sale, only 60 miles !!!!!!

I know an orthopedic surgeon that drives one to work once or twice a week & plays w/ it on the track a few times a year. Seems to run fine always.

 

Yeah, it's a shame that he's selling it for close to $1mil. I'm not up to par on how much a Ferrari F40LM costs normally. But I'm almost positive he is making a huge profit off of it. To some people a Ferrari is an investment. Some of them have become much more valuable over time. I'm just saying that some people don't care much for driving an F-car. It's not really there thing. In my eyes I don't understand how you cannot drive that car. But to some people it's just another car that they can make money off.

 

My goodness ! 60 miles ! It's going to need cam belts and lord knows what else.

Why don't these people buy real estate ? It's a better investment and builings aren't supposed to be driven. Cars are.

 

I drive very often my LM on the road. Need taller tires to help the ground clearance and reduce theboost to 17 psi. The turbo are my mufflers, it's OK till you hit 4000rpm. It's very hard and noisy but what a ride....
They all starts from a stock f40 chassis than all the Michelloto mods. made the difference. You do have a vin # but no emission etc...Dealer plates is the way to go. Got to keep the stock fly wheel if you want to save the clutch...

Dealer plates, eh? How much was that LM again?

 

It's twice the price.

 

No way!!!!

 

Hmmm...780HP+ with the F40LM or 513HP in the F50. Your choice.

 

anyone else see the sellers name?

Seller: Shigeru Watanabe (private vendor), Japan





kinda odd....

 

Roland,

Wasn't your car, and the rebuild, in an older issue of Forza? If its the same car I'm thinking of then congrates I read the issue several times and it must have been a blast to build-up then drive!

I don't know if I'd take the F50 over an F40LM... questions for a day some 30 years in the future for me.

Happy Driving!

 

This LM is massively overpriced. They run circa $350-$450K US depending upon condition and history.

 

You're right, it is my car in Forza. I have driven the car everywhere and no troubles what so ever..It's like all the P cars I raced, they are reliable if you do the preventions.
A LM was sold in Fl. for $ 600 + but needed major restoration (I know, I drove the car )and that 60 miles one will need MAJOR rebuild before getting out...
In June, my LM will do again the Players Run from New York to Los Angeles.
I plan to do a bunch of miles depending where we are.(back roads)

You're right, it's my car in Forza. Thanks for the compliment and the car is even better now since we had 2 more seasons to detail even more.
A LM was sold in Fl. for $600k + and needed major rebuild (I know, I have been on the track with it ) so the one from Japan might be "new" but will need a total rebuild before seeing the track...
They are very reliable but need prevention, I did so many tracks events without touching the hood...
This year, I'm doing again the Players Run from New York to Los Angeles and depending where we are, I'll drive a bunch of miles (I hate freeways)on the side roads.
